Bar Boys has started its screening last August 16 and will run until August 22.

ON BAR BOYS. In a separate interview during the August 3 press conference for Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino, Rocco said that doing his character in Bar Boys is challenging for him, even though it is a feel-good barkada movie.

He pointed out, "Naging challenging kasi hinding-hindi ako yung character. I have to pull out an alpha male of Rocco and to put into that character.

"I went through a lot of debates. Para siyang master debater, alpha male siya, he's the leader of the whole pack so ipapakita throughout the film na kung kaya ba niya laging ganon in his journey to become a lawyer.

"Yung traits ba niya magagamit niya. It's really a different Rocco at saka first time ko rin magcomedy ng ganito lalo na with three more guys na kasing crazy ko rin. It's just chaos in a good way.

"Maraming makaka-relate dito kasi in the movie, it shows reenactments of what really happens sa students taking up law. Terror teachers that we have, pinapakita yun."

In terms of the title, some can conclude that Bar Boys has a double meaning.

This is the reason why Rocco had to explain to everyone asking what their movie is all about.
